SUPERSPEED FOR SHARED LABS
NEW CENTRIFUGE SERIES REPRESENTS A LEAP FORWARD IN DESIGN
At the end of October, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced its new Sorvall LYNX superspeed centrifuge series which aims to maximize everyday centrifuge use in shared laboratory settings.
The company says the series represents a major design innovation and is at least one, if not two, generations ahead of the centrifuges used by academic and institutional laboratories globally.
“Our new Sorvall LYNX superspeed centrifuges dramatically simplify high-speed centrifuges while increasing user safety and peace of mind,” said Maurizio Merli, global product director of centrifugation at Thermo. “We accomplish this with breakthrough technology advancements, such as the Auto-Lock rotor exchange, Auto-ID instant rotor identification and carbon fiber rotors.”
Auto-Lock allows users to exchange rotors in less than three seconds and ensures that the rotor is automatically and securely locked and won’t loosen during a run, while Auto-ID recognizes a rotor when secured in the chamber, improving safety, saving time, and protecting the integrity of samples, the company explained.
The new centrifuge series features a 100,000 x g top speed performance and supports highthroughput sample processing from 50 mL conical tubes and microplates to 1 L bottles, up to a six-liter capacity.
Run set-up is made easier with the series’ touchscreen interface that includes a bright, durable display, while on-board video tutorials and access controls, such as user login with password protection, provide advanced training and programming options.
“Today’s researchers require centrifuge performance that is simplified, to accommodate the reality that labs have multiple users with different experience levels and a variety of processing requirements,” Merli added about why these features are important.

CAN YOU HANDLE THIS?
LIQUID HANDLING SYSTEM COULD MEAN BIG IMPROVEMENTS TO WORKFLOW
A new liquid handling system announced early last month by Agilent Technologies aims to improve every stage of the research process in user’s labs through a number of unique technological advances.
Yvonne Linney, vice president and general manager of automation solutions at Agilent says the Encore Multispan liquid handling system was the result of customer feedback.
“In partnership with our customers, we worked to understand the many bottlenecks and limitations associated with sample-prep automation and created a unique solution,” Linney said. “It combines advanced liquid handling and robotics to enable true sample-to-analysis automation.”
Two of the system’s innovations include a dual, multispan pipetting system that provides two individual banks of multiple pipettes where each moves independently in multiple axes and a software package featuring a 3-D simulator that allows researchers to set up, visualize, and optimize their protocols remotely and offline prior to running experiments on the system. A built-in robotic arm that provides a span of up to 21 inches off-deck with patented one-touch easy teaching that enables end-to-end workflow integrations is the third major innovation the system will include.
“Agilent’s distinct expertise in both workflow automation and liquid handling has allowed us to integrate innovative technologies into a single platform, and empower scientists to take their research to the next level in terms of flexibility, throughput and ultimately lab productivity,” Linney said. “With the introduction of the Encore Multispan System, Agilent is offering scientists the ability to reach beyond routine liquid handling and experience the highest levels of efficiency and productivity in their laboratories.”
